Only the ETERNAL which sustains all Gods and Selves.

Franklin Merrell-Wolff (1887–1985) was an American philosopher. After formal education in philosophy and mathematics at Stanford and Harvard, Wolff devoted himself to the goal of transcending the normal limits of human consciousness. After exploring various mystical teachings and paths, he dedicated himself to the path of jnana yoga and the writings of Shankara, founder of the Advaita Vedanta school of Hindu philosophy.

In 1936, Wolff experienced a profound spiritual liberation and awakening which provided the basis for his transcendental philosophy. Wolff's published books detailing his experience and philosophy include Pathways Through to Space, The Philosophy of Consciousness Without an Object (both of which were re-published in a single volume entitled Franklin Merrell-Wolff's Experience and Philosophy), and Transformations in Consciousness: The Metaphysics and Epistemology (originally published under the title Introceptualism).

Behaviorism

Most of our behavior and feelings are caused by beliefs, which are the result of the meaning we give meaningless events. And meaning requires consciousness. When conditioning does happen it is because the faculty of consciousness that we do possess is not being used. 

Anything that occurs repeatedly (or even once if the incident is traumatic enough) at the same time that something else is causing an emotion will itself get conditioned to produce the same emotion.

Be Pleasant To Yourself

"What you really want is to be pleasant to yourself. What your heart wants is to have something inside of you that likes you.(Laughter) Now, oh, you don’t have that; I see you reacting. Now think from now on of pleasantness as a power, which it is.

What is pleasantness? It’s not, of course, the exterior smile; it’s not being friendly to someone outwardly. Pleasantness, authentic pleasantness is exterior manifestation of interior harmony. All is well with you, why are you afraid of anything on the outside? All you have to do is express outwardly the nice, good, feeling of harmony that you have inside of you.

Pleasantness is a solitary rose that knows it has no relationship to the surrounding weeds outside itself."
~ Vernon Howard [from a talk given 4/5/1992]

"Sentimentality is bad because it includes too much of our unseen selves,
but a simple affection without self-reference is good."

Kenneth Wapnick, Ph.D. discusses how to use this year
(on a daily basis)
as seeing the world always giving us the opportunity to choose again.

View the world through Christ’s vision instead of the ego’s judgment.
Heaven or hell.

I choose to live in connection with my deeper knowing.

Through awareness you see and experience the beauty of who you are.

IS DISEASE REAL, OR APPARENT?

In dealing with the reality or unreality of disease, the first thing to be established in the mind is the sense in which we are to use the word “reality.”

If we can accept the definition of the word “real” in its philosophic sense as that which is insusceptible of discord and decay, dissolution or disintegration, we will have a sense of reality which admits only that which is perfect and permanent. According to Plato’s idea, the real is the ideal, of which the materialist’s real is a more or less imperfect representation to the sense. The real, as we know it through the senses, is in a constant state of change, but, as science reveals it, it is “the same, yesterday, today, and forever.”

As the word “real” is susceptible of so many meanings, so is the word “apparent.”
